hey girls, as you all know i recently called off my engagment and engagement party. well stuart and I have been talking about getting back together, under the assumption that we will talk to his parents and tell them (nicely) to but out of our lives.
so my question is, if we get re-engaged, can we have another engagement party? i am crushed that i wasnt able to celebrate with everyone and would love to if we get re-engaged. stuart says its fine, but some ppl are saying it wouldnt be a good idea.
on the invites i would put something like this...
they are still engaged and happy but the first date just wasnt right so lets celebrate w/ a party for stuart and danielle b/c their future is so bright!

bump for the night crew xoxo
hey glad things are moving in a positive direction...
I would really make sure things are they way youd like them to be before sending out new invites...the wording that you suggested is adorable but i would just make sure first!

I don't see why not but, make sure that everything is ok. Talk to his parents and then send them out. Happy to hear that you got back on track.

Re: re-engagement party?
I think this is a tough question.
I love the wording though. I mean honestly, you want to celebrate your love and if you want to have a party then I think by all means you should!
If people do not feel comfortable and do not take you seriously, then they do not have to come to the party or share in your enjoyment!
I think you should...at the end of the day those that truly care for you guys will be there!
Just my opinion....

Danielle!!! How are you?!? I'm happy to hear you and Stuart are at least talking things through. I see no problem in having a re-engagement party! Go for it!!!

Happy you're trying to work things out....
Honestly though - I would ride it out a bit longer before resending invites. If you say you're not reengaged yet, maybe take it easy until a final decision is made. Also - take time to enjoy this one without the added stress of planning a party so quickly.

hey danielle!!!
i am glad to hear that you guys are getting back together, but i must say that i don't think an e-party is a good idea because people might not take you seriously, like you said. i dunno, maybe thats just me...but i think that once you make an announcement that your engagement is broken off, its hard to bounce back from that and have everyone take you seriously...
i really don't mean to sound mean or nasty, but thats just how i feel

no please..dont feel bad i need the input!!!
and to re-update....nothing is planned and i dont have the invites yet...i just wanted to see what everyone says in case we do get re-engaged (which may happen as long as he can stick up to them) and we are sure that everything is good.

whew!!!! ok, good!!!
if you guys do get back together and all is well, then wait it out for a little bit to make sure old problems don't resurface. and if things are great and better than ever, then DEFINITELY celebrate
